Packers receiver James Jones confirmed Monday that he has received a restricted free agent tender from the organization. He also noted his hopes to play for the Super Bowl champions in the future. Jones, however, does have other career aspirations.

“My main thing going through all this, do I want to be a starter in the National Football League?” Jones said. “No question. Do I feel like I’m a starter? No question. … I know we have something great here. This team can win some championships for the next couple years.

“But, at the same time, I do want to be a starter. I don’t know if that’ll ever happen here with Donald (Driver) playing until he’s 40.”

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
